"I hope you are note blinded and biased by some personal conflicts inside the project. If there indeed is such an issue, as you are suggesting, I think it's necessary to clarify the problem."

As someone who did some (too few) promotional events for CentOS together with Dag, I can assure you that he is not. Currently the CentOS project is completely intransparent to outsiders.

I bring some examples for intransparency:
* How is the distribution build? If I want to build my own "CentOS" from the Red Hat sources, how to do?
* Development of CentOS Plus is pretty much intransparent (at least to me): How is maintainer of which package? Where is the Version Control for the spec files? Where can I see the build infrastructure?
* Release process of new CentOS versions is intransparent. No-one outside of the very core team knows how many packages are already rebuilt and what the state is.

The most intransparent thing is finances where no-one except Lance knows how much money there is and how it is spent.
